Excellent. The author is a Palestinian Christian refugee and she traces her family history and history as a refugee in a stunning fashion as she is able to go back and physically visit Jerusalem, working at Ramallah Friends School in conflict resolution. As a result, there's a small look into the Quaker aspect, which is always interesting to me as it seems rather benign and more likely to promote introspection.

She describes the culture, sights and experience in Palestine with fresh eyes. Things that I enjoyed or that stood out in the way she brings you in: the details the pain and peace several times of being invited into now Israeli homes she knows the Palestinian owners were violently expelled from in 1948, the feeling that they were just leaving for a few weeks in 1948 until the violence subsided but were barred from returning, the myth that Arabs sold the land and Jews bought it is weirdly persistent, connection to the land, the food, the key, a Nakba commemoration in Jerusalem she organized, a Muslim funeral, multicultural history of Jerusalem and details of her conflict resolution with schoolchildren.
